Kjell,<br />
Yes, I have a couple of those. That Rattler has an MDGO (Michigan Disc Golf Organization) stamp made by Stu Melrose. I'm guessing it was released about 1996.

I still have a sky streak.It is probably my first discgolf disc....I also still have an eagle without the patent number in it.Just the stamp on top.I also have still a lot of discs from discraft from the old days.Remember the Cruiser? Or the Shadow?<br />
I have a yellow Phantom that looks like new 173.5 gramms lol<br />
A nice Eclipse with that sun stamp.<br />
But also alot of other stuff. Like the F-15 Eagle, The Coupe,The Superdrive + Putter, The Aero and the Phenix.<br />

The Phenix was used by Sam Ferrans who sett a world record distance with it. He is probably the only player who have thrown that disc too. I got one but man, it is huge.<br />

Somebody took their disc outside the tourney HQ hotel, and we took turns throwing it as hard as we could against the brick wall of the hotel. I'm sure it might have damaged it a little, but compared to what any other disc would have done, I can't remember any damage to it at all! I believe that there was nylon added to the polymer blend of the disc and that is what made it so tough.<br/><br/>The Skystreak was non-beveled, and the closest disc it resembled at the time, as far as the profile, was the Midnight Flyer 71 Mold without the flight rings, but that is probably not much help to most of you out there.<br/><br/>BTW, I started collecting in 1979, but I have sold slmost all of my collection and am not actively collecting now, but I still now, and I used to do, occasionally go through my collection and remember where I got it, or the tournament it commemorates, or just other good times.</div>

That reminds me of a funny story (at least funny to me.) Bob Waidmann talked me into ordering some custom stamped discs for a tournament once, which after we placed the order we started to realize that we were both on the hook for about $300.00 and we were going to lose our shirts on the deal. So at the event Bob brought out some old collectible plastic to sell to try to offset his losses. He had this mint condition brown Aviar XD that somebody had agreed to buy, the guy just had to come back with the cash. As he was picking up the disc to set it aside, the flight plate FELL OUT of the disc. Just the whole flight plate in a perfect circle popped out and fell on the ground. So Bob is standing there with the rim in his hand, looking down at the flight plate on the ground. Finally he looked up as said "Lets see how it flies" and tosses the rim backhand. It flipped and rolled around in a big circle, and Bob grumbled something like "I waited 10 years to throw THAT?!?" Plastic is not meant to last forever.<br/>
That was ten years ago. I still have 10 or so discs with that tournament stamp. Time and the fact that I have a funny story to tell about it have lessened the pain I felt in my pocketbook on that deal.</div>

I moved from the area in 2000 and have not been back to White Birch in a while, but Bob Waidmann has been active at that course for almost 30 years now. He keeps things going. Bob is an old school disc collector, I'll have to try to get him to join this club.
